I was wondering if anyone ever thought about this mod. There is an ebay listing for "carbon fiber heating pads" which I think are made by some German company. They're pretty expensive at over $100 per seat.
I was thinking of this cheaper kit:
Here's one for $99 that could be split to do two seat bottoms, with extra wiring and another button:
Or this heating pad which could be used as is:
I only want to heat my seat bottom, since I'd usually be wearing a coat or heavy sweatshirt and my bum would only be covered by my pants and undies.
I'd like to do both front seats, so I could share the love with any passenger. I think I could rewire this cheap pad to go into the car's electrical system with a proper fuse and I'd have both front seats reupholstered or use a nice seat cover.
Then again, for just me for winter use, and since I don't smoke and have no cig lighter, temporary use by flopping it down and plugging it in would probably make more sense. At 18" X 18" it is a bit big and may not be "installable" in Festiva buckets.
Thoughts and ideas?
Anyone ever install or use any of these?
